Thankful

Indeed i am. When God closes one door, He will never forget to leave another one open. With that, i'm really very thankful and grateful that while x-man chose to venture on his path, He sent some other angels down for me and Shane. I'm very fortunate. I have met many good people in my life, some stay, some move on and i know they are/were in my life for a reason. For those who no longer stay by my side, I do think of them from time to time. I miss them.


Apart from a family that loves me unconditionally, it's a true blessing to be surrounded by good people who care. I am thankful i have a kind boss who looks after me and a bunch of smart, kind and crazy-like-me girls at work whom i enjoy laughing and working with day in, day out. We have fun but we do work hard. I think my work place is one of the rare few where people actually build friendships and are comfortable with each other. So comfortable that i show them my trophy stretchmarks at every chance i could and never forget to remind them constantly that i'm actually the smartest of them all :)


Stretchmarks, that's like the branding of motherhood and i'm immensely proud of them! The markings are a permanent reminder that i'm a fighter, a tough cookie and if you dare trample all over my kid, i'll repay you million times the same.


Which then brought me back to the reason why i chose to stay single. Read http://shanewei.blogspot.com/2008/08/fontok-na.html.


Maybe someday i will meet a really really nice and good man but for now, my only man is Shane.


Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Mark sent me a Chinese text message which i understood half and guessed the other half. I on-sent it to my girls and if you received one from me tonite, consider that a lucky charm and be glad you are on my VIP list!


In another two months or so, i'll be celebrating my birthday. Another year older, oh well, that's not really something to be happy about, or is it? Who wants to grow older? Maybe when i was ten or eleven. But now i wish time will stand still. However, i'm slowly accepting the fact that i'm no longer young. Some very fine lines are starting to appear and i'm slapping on anything that promises younger looking skin.


Ahh.. La Mer, my puppy, come to Mommy!
